  2. 1. Evaluation of Dust Suppressants for Gravel Roads : Methods Development and Efficiency Studies

    Author : Karin Edvardsson; Björn Birgisson; Andrew Dawson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Gravel road; dust; particulate matter; PM10; horizontal dust diffusion; deteriorations; maintenance; dust control; dust suppressants; efficiency; application rate; leaching; residual concentration; seasonal variations; salt solution; solid salt; calcium chloride; magnesium chloride; lignosulphonate; polysaccharide sugar ; bitumen emulsion; rape oil; starch; surfactant; mesa; clay; fine material content;

    Abstract : Approximately 75 percent (300 000 km) of the total Swedish road network and 20 percent(20 000 km) of the national road network consists of gravel roads. One of the most significantproblems associated with gravel roads is traffic-generated dust emission, which contributes tothe deterioration of the road surface and acts as a major source of particulate matter releasedinto the atmosphere, thereby involving public economics, road safety, human health, andenvironmental quality.

  4. 2. Evaluation of Dust Suppressants for Gravel Roads: Methods Development and Efficiency Studies

    Author : Karin Oscarsson; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gravel road; dust; particulate matter; PM10; horizontal dust diffusion; deteriorations; maintenance; dust control; dust suppressants; efficiency; application rate; leaching; residual concentration; seasonal variations; salt solution; solid salt; calcium chloride; magnesium chloride; lignosulphonate; polysaccharide sugar ; bitumen emulsion; rape oil; starch; surfactant; mesa; clay; fine material content.; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

    Abstract : Application of the proper dust suppressant to a gravel road ensures road safety and riding comfort as well as creating a cleaner and healthier environment for residents in buildings adjacent to the road. It also reduces the need and cost for vehicle repair, road maintenance activities, and aggregate supplementation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Adults with Cerebral Palsy : living with a lifelong disability

    Author : Karin Sandström; Birgitta Öberg; Kersti Samuelsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Although Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a lifelong disability, the research has mainly focused in children with CP. However, in recent years new studies have examined the different aspects of being an adult with a congenital disability. READ MORE

  6. 4. High-intensity interval training in combination with aerobic or resistance training for patients with breast cancer : a HIIT to counteract detrimental effects of chemotherapy

    Author : Sara Mijwel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With the increasing number of individuals that enter cancer survivorship there is a growing need for interventions that can alleviate treatment-related adverse effects such as fatigue, and that can improve and restore physical functioning and health-related quality of life during and after treatment. After a breast cancer diagnosis, patients with breast cancer show significantly reduced physical activity levels, especially during the adjuvant treatment phase. READ MORE

  7. 5. An FRA Transformer Model with Application on Time Domain Reflectometry

    Author : Hanif Tavakoli; Göran Engdahl; Jonas Ekman; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; complex permeability; lumped circuit model; frequency response analysis; time domain reflectometry; high frequency modeling; transformer diagnosis; reluctance network method.;

    Abstract : Frequency response analysis (FRA) is a frequency-domain method which is used to detect mechanical faults in transformers. The frequency response of a transformer is determined by its geometry and material properties, and it can be considered as the transformer’s fingerprint. READ MORE
